I am following a HOWTO I found to move my DASD to use LVM on top of RAID1. The
instructions assume Intel arch but all goes well until it says to use Grub to
write the MBR onto the two partitions with the boot directory on them.
Naturally I tried to use zipl but it fails with:

# zipl
Using config file '/etc/zipl.conf'
Building bootmap in '/boot'
Building menu 'menu1'
Adding #1: IPL section 'linux' (default)
Preparing boot device: 09:00.
Error: Could not read master boot record: Reached unexpected end of file

where /boot is mounted thus:
/dev/md1      ext3     97M   14M   79M  15% /mnt/tmp/boot

Should I try to mount the actual partitions under boot sequentially? I am new
to RAID and am not sure how to proceed.

TIA
-Robin
